Fox Posts $4.21B Q4 Fiscal 2026 Revenue, $696M Net Income
Fox Corporation reported Q4 fiscal 2026 revenue of $4.21 billion, net income of $696 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $1.20 billion, per the headline distributed via PR Newswire. Full release detail is pending.

Fox Corporation reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $4.21 billion, net income of $696 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $1.20 billion, per a PR Newswire distribution carrying the company's earnings-release headline.
The headline — "Fox Reports Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Revenue of $4.21 Billion, Net Income of $696 Million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.20 Billion" — supplies three primary performance figures and no additional commentary in the distributed text. CFO Observer received only the headline copy at the time of filing.
What do the headline numbers show?
Three metrics anchor the announcement:
- Total revenue: $4.21 billion
- Net income: $696 million
- Adjusted EBITDA: $1.20 billion
Working only from the three disclosed numbers, net income maps to roughly 16.5% of revenue, and adjusted EBITDA maps to roughly 28.5% of revenue. These are mechanical ratios derived from the headline values, not a profitability trend call.
How does Fox structure its fiscal year?
Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOXB) operates on a fiscal calendar that aligns broadcast rights amortization with sports seasons, with the fiscal year typically ending in late June. The fourth quarter (April–June) traditionally captures the run-up to the summer upfront ad market and the close of the National Football League offseason programming slate.
For finance teams benchmarking media-sector peers, the Q4 result closes the fiscal 2026 reporting cycle and precedes the next 10-K filing window. CFOs comparing the print to multi-year model assumptions will look for the same line items — segment EBITDA, free cash flow, advertising revenue split — that the headline does not supply.
What is missing from the headline?
The distributed headline does not contain several items a corporate-finance reader would normally expect from a full earnings release, and the gap between headline and full disclosure often takes the rest of the trading day to close.
- Year-over-year deltas for revenue, net income, and adjusted EBITDA
- Segment-level revenue and adjusted EBITDA (cable network programming, television, other)
- Operating income, operating expense, and amortization detail
- Free cash flow and capital expenditure
- Share count, repurchases, and dividends
- Reconciliations from net income to adjusted EBITDA
- Management commentary and fiscal 2027 guidance
A complete release usually packages these alongside forward-looking-statement disclaimers and Tubi segment disclosures. CFO Observer has filed for the full text and will update this item when the supplementary detail lands.
What should the desk watch next?
The PR Newswire pattern — a headline-only or headline-plus-financial-tables wire — is the standard opening beat of a media-sector earnings cycle. CFOs monitoring Fox should also flag three associated drops that typically follow within hours:
- An 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
- A quarterly investor presentation deck
- A conference-call transcript and management commentary
The combination defines what the headline numbers mean: revenue tells you the top line, net income tells you the residual after tax, and adjusted EBITDA strips out non-cash items to approximate the cash-generating power before interest and tax. Reading them together, rather than separately, is the discipline CFO Observer applies to each new media report.
Until the supporting filings arrive, the disclosed trio — $4.21 billion in revenue, $696 million in net income, and $1.20 billion in adjusted EBITDA — is the verifiable figure set for Fox's fiscal 2026 close.
